I know it is last minute but I need to get this crap done. I was changing the brakes and found my right front axle u-joint to be one step away from total melt down. I replaced the front right one today and I'm going to do the left tomorrow about mid morning.

Anyone interested in coming out to see how it is done on an old rusty never been taken apart jeep is welcome to come by. I know there are a few people out there who have never done one so this might be interesting. I'm doing it on a 98 TJ. It's a little different than a YJ but a D30 is a D30 for the most part.

I live in Apache junction, if anyone is interested PM me and I'll give you directions.

Bill

Decided since I was in there I might as well drain and refill the diff. Yuck what a bunch of gunk, I think there might have been a little water in it.

Everything is all drained, cleaned and refilled. The other ujoint was also bad so I'm glad I got it done. Next will be the right bearing assy. I think it is also on it's way to the big garbage bin in the sky.

Not going to worry about the rear because I'm gonna swap a 44 into it in the not too distant future.
